Standard Capital

We are interested in funding companies that already have product-market fit in some form. Different types of startups have different definitions of product market fit, but in summary, we are looking for companies that have already made something people want. We are happy to consider companies with less than $1M ARR. Growth rate and market opportunity are the most important things we are looking for, rather than absolute numbers. An Overview of Standard Capital ▪ Standard Capital leads Series A rounds in the top post-PMF companies. ▪ Standard Capital makes investment decisions via a fast application + interview process. Any startup can apply on our website and get a quick decision, no warm intro needed. ▪ When filling out the Standard Capital application, founders specify how much money they want to raise and name their own (reasonable) valuation. A lead investment from Standard Capital requires only 10% ownership. ▪ Standard Capital provides standardized documents so that founders know exactly what the terms are before they apply. Standard Capital does not charge portfolio companies for our legal fees. ▪ Standard Capital does not take board seats. Instead of board meetings, Standard portfolio companies are invited to quarterly in-person group meetings in SF with other portfolio founders. We believe that the best advice and support for post-PMF companies will come from other top founders. ▪ Once a year, Standard Capital will re-sort the small groups of portfolio companies to best match companies with similar levels of traction that are best suited to learn and support from each other. ▪ Standard Capital will invest in ~5 companies per cycle, four times a year. Standard Capital isn’t a program with a start and end date. Instead, portfolio founders will continue to be supported via office hours and quarterly group meetings for the life of their company.
